These are the template changes since 3.5.4 ONLY
If you are not running 3.5.4 yet, there are significantly more changed templates than are listed here. Use "Find Updated Templates" to find the templates that have changed and incorporate those changes. You may even wish to start with a default style!
Note:
You need to only look through this post for templates you have customized. You do not need to take any action to ensure that your uncustomized templates are the latest versions.
If you find a template you have customized in this list, you will likely want to include the changes made here. However, this is not always required. Under each change listed here, you will see "requires revert?" This refers to whether the changes are mandatory (yes). If the changes are mandatory, things will break if you do not incorporate the changes made. It is strongly recommended that you revert and recustomize any templates that say they require a revert. If requires revert is listed as "no", your board should continue functioning without the changes, but any bug fixes/improvements will not be applied unless you revert the template!
Additionally, you may wish to use the "Find Updated Templates" feature in the control panel to find templates that have been changed since your last edit to them.
